Is It Bad To Assist Your Wife Or Fiancee With House Chores by Francisanointed(m): 9:10am On Aug 22, 2022
A friend of mine told his friend that he is behaving like woman wrapper, simply because he always assist his wife with chores. For instance, if the woman is cooking and washing plate,the man will voluntarily sweep or wash his personal clothes. His wife once told me that her husband usually assist him with house chores before but he stopped because people advice him that is not traditional.
As a Christian, I feel one should voluntarily assist your wife with chores. Though some women tend to use this avenue to "make it compulsory thing" which ought not to be so. I think men or husbands should assist their wives in housechores. Assisting the woman doesn't make you man-less but it shows that you truly love your wife.

As a christian or as a normal human being?

Some men grew up with their grandmothers or with parents where doing chores was very normal, nothing special really. That your other friend, when he was a bachelor living alone, who was doing his chores? Does he hire people to come & clean the house, wash his clothes for him. If he has been doing all of this things normally in his own house, so why does it feel strange now?

At the end, everyone should do what works for them. I wouldn't call traditional or modern system bad, anyone that works for the family should be adopted.

Nothing wrong with assisting your wife with house chores. I do assist her often, name them. I do it all. Does not take away the man you are. Its only half men who shy away from that.
I mean does it make sense when you are around and at home to watch your wife labour herself to exhaustion because of one useless ego?

Men need to start helping as regards to that.

Okay, this is funny grin grin grin. The man shouldn't wash plates but should cook? Or he shouldn't clean the restroom but he should clean the couch?

See ehn, If you're a masculine man who has authority over his home, your wife will know, It is not by forcing it.

That is why I don't buy all these false Alpha male/female talk. If you're alpha, you won't even move an inch, people will know just by your conversation and how you go about doing things. They would know they can't mess with you.

What a question.

There's nothing wrong in assisting with chores because the house and everything in it belongs to both of you. You both make use of it therefore the duty to clean and tidy it lies on both of you.

Mind you, you are not doing it because you love your wife but because it's a normal thing that needs to be done. Before you got married you were doing your chores and it wasn't because you loved yourself. Its a necessity.


By the way, if a woman can assist the man in the financial responsibilities, the man should as well assist in the duties of the home.

If you as a husband is less busy or have nothing doing I don't see why you can't help with the house chores, it's your house too not like you are a stranger so why kill your wife with everything just because you are bothered about what others will say

@bolded. How many women assist in financial responsibilities?

For me, there's nothing wrong to assist with chores, but, it must be done with decorum. You want to assist shouldn't condescend to washing plates or washing her pants.

Man, know thy limit.

What's condescending about Washing a plate you ate with?

Before you married her, were you not washing your plates yourself? Why feel low all of a sudden doing it the moment she joins you?

Most of you see the woman as a house help but forget that even a house help gets paid to do such jobs while you expect your woman to slave just because she married you. Never!

The duty to keeping the home clean and habitable lies on everyone living in that house.

There's nothing wrong doing that once a while but don't make it your duty.

Women came prepared for marriage, they know what they are signing up for.

Same way a woman should let her man contribute more financially.

Personally I don't see anything bad in helping my wife or girlfriend in doing house chores, as it makes the chores go faster and even easier for her. There is nothing like woman wrapper in it. She is a helper and not a slave. What happens when she is sick and unable to do the chores, will you go outside to get someone else to do them for you or force her to do them.

It has never ended well. U can ask men u have done that shit in the past. The moment u become too nice and house boyish to ur wife/GF, then it's time for her to dump and get a real man.

A real man to many women, is an evil man, bad man. If she is sick make she go stay for hospital make I know say she really dey sick.

If the workload is too much on her why can't u help out. After all ur both in it together. It's team work on everything when necessary. If there's a help then no need to but if u can't get a help then it's not extraordinary to make things easy once once if u notice the work load is too much for little time

Marriage is partnership, marriage is teamwork done in love. If we were to follow biblical history, a good number of them had servants.

But, the average married man wants to be treated as lords and saviour, you want the woman to do chores, take care of everything in the home. You only want to do finance and you still expect the woman to work and support you with the finance part as well.

Little wonder, married women most times look older than their husbands and some children somewhere will have the guts to be asking what women bring to the table.

Women ought to stop marrying such immature men for husbands abeg. undecided

Assist your wife with chores? You even pretend Christianity has something to do with this foolishness. Since when did chores become a wife only responsibility? In a marriage, depending on the agreement between a man and woman, chores can either be shared or even handled by just one partner. It isn't written somewhere in stone that it is a wife's duty. That decision to be made by each couple. undecided

Marriage is an agreement between a man and woman and it is for each couple to decide how to handle chores as they see fit in there own marriage. There is nothing like wife's chores. Instead, there are chores and responsibilities for each to be decided by the couple. undecided

You may be speaking from experience but I also have seen this which I wrote and can confidently tell you that it didn't end their union or cause problems as stipulated, instead it strengthens their bond even more.

It’s not bad, since she’s also giving you sex and other comfort as his wife . There should be boundaries if the relationship is still on fiancee level, it’s not enough to be doing wifely duties
